Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Open surgery is the traditional treatment for bladder diverticula.
  • Existing endoscopic techniques have limited adoption.
  • A novel combined endoscopic approach is explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a combined transurethral technique for bladder diverticula treatment.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

  • A transurethral approach was used in 21 patients since 1985.
  • Technique involves opening the diverticular neck and electrocoagulating mucosa.
  • Cervico-urethral obstruction was addressed concurrently.

Main Results:

  • Good results and no observed complications in the majority of patients.

  • Successful reduction of bladder diverticula achieved in 20 out of 21 cases.
  • One failure attributed to عدم combined prostate resection.

    • Conclusions:

    • The combined transurethral technique is effective and safe for bladder diverticula.
    • This approach offers a viable alternative to open surgery.
    • Wider adoption of this technique is recommended.
